About this product

Product Information

This fascinating volume tells you everything you need to know about how to build an 00 gauge Tilbury Tank locomotive or, indeed, any similar type of tank. Written in an engaging, encouraging and easily understable style, this new work is a worthy successor to the author's first book, 'Scratch-Building Model Railway Locomotives', which was short-listed for the Ian Allan Railway Book of the Year Awards in 2014. Containing scale diagrams, step-by-step photos, sketches and specially commissioned artwork, the book celebrates the history of Tilbury Tanks and demonstrates a range of different techniques that will prove invaluable in constructing models of these charismatic little locomotives. If you have not yet taken the plunge and begun scratch-building, or if you want to complement your growing scratch-building skills and knowledge, this is the book for you. . Considers how to begin the process of scratch-building a particular prototype, with particular reference to problem-solving and research. . Discusses the tools, products and materials used to build the model and examines how to complement scratch-building with etched parts and castings. . Covers the more complex tools and jigs that are employed for impressing rivets, rolling boilers and soldering chassis. . Examines the fault-finding methods used in order to get a simple chassis successfully up and running. . Explains the choices involved in providing springing and beam compensation. . Provides simple solutions for achieving a good paint finish. AUTHOR: Simon Bolton was inspired to scratch-build railway models several years ago by an enthusiastic high school teacher and has not stopped since. Being a teacher, adult trainer and actor has taught him the importance of a positive and clear approach to learning, which comes across in his writing. He scratch-builds locomotives in a variety of gauges and very much enjoys giving demonstrations and talks on their construction to lively audiences. SELLING POINTS: . Brimming with useful hints and advice, this new book tells you everything you need to know about how to build an 00 gauge Tilbury Tank locomotive, or any similar tank. . Celebrates the history of Tilbury Tanks . Covers a range of different techniques that will prove invaluable in constructing these little locomotives. 290 Illustrations

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
